Health and safety are important to us and therefore you will be required to read our health and safety notes before completing a booking form.

Dress Code

There is no strict dress code but it is important to dress sensibly and safely.
Hats will be loaned for the first lesson after which you will be required to provide your own for both comfort and safety. Suitable footwear is also essential.
If you enjoy your riding and wish to continue we recommend you wear correct riding clothes if possible.

Where to find us

Greenacres is approximately 15 miles from London situated between Bromley and Westerham on the main A233 approaching Biggin Hill Airport.
We are easy to find conveniently positioned in Ashmore Lane between our two local pubs “The Crown” and “The Kings Arms”
Bromley South is our nearest station and the 320 bus passes our gate.

Hello there, this question is a bit of a long shot but I went to Westerham Riding School in the late 1970’s and I’m trying to organise a reunion with former working pupils. Does anyone at Greenacres know of a Janet Bentley, Sheila Western or Mike Edmunds? We know Sheila came to Greenacres after failing her exams at WRS and passed once she came to your school.

Hi, do you do pony rides? My daughter is 3 and went on one at a school fair and liked it but she is a bit small for lessons. Thought I could bring her for a few pony rides until shes big enough. Thanks

Hi, my daughter, India Davis, would like to start riding again with Greenacres. She is 12 years old and had graduated to the 2nd class on a Sunday morning.
Could you please advise of any vacancies and also any mid week evening classes that you hold?
Many thanks,
Graham.

Hi,
I am 16 years old. I have had lessons in the past, but I would like to start again after the new year. I was wondering if there would be places available every other week on a Sunday and what the lesson times are? I want to have private lessons, with a bigger more outgoing horse, as I feel this will allow me to learn how to have better control of a horse.
Thank you very much,
Viktorija

Hello! My name is Grainne conville. I’m just enquiring about work experience for myself and my friend Amy Doyle. We are both 5th year students in Scoil Mhuire Ennistymon ,Co.Clare Ireland and we are both very interested in this place of work. We would like to travel to London to expand our experience. We think this would be a great opportunity to learn more about animals and the work involved in the stables as we are both very interested in veterinary. We love working with animals and feel like this would be a great environment to expand our knowledge.We are willing to do any work that is given to us. We really want to get a feel for working in the stables The dates that we would be doing the work experience are 14th-16th of March. Thank you so much for taking the time out to read this email And I look forward to hearing your reply.

Hi everyone I work at greenacres and I am sorry that you have not received a reply from us. We are unable to check emails on our site so please contact us directly we will be more then happy to help with your requests. Kind regards Joanna.

I’ve been coming to this stables for 12yrs now and I would highly recommend them, the horse are well behaved and looked after, the staff are always so friendly and the acre fields used in the summer for lessons are brilliant For riding, the indoor school even has a seating area for parents during lessons 🙂

Hi I was wondering if you take on apprentices? As I’ve currently applied for an animal care course for September. I was also looking in to taking horse riding lessons here anyway and was wondering if you would take on any apprentices.
If someone could get back to me it’d be very appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi
I came with my 9 year old daughter earlier this year and she had one lunge lesson on a Saturday to establish if she could join a week day group. At this time, I believe you were having some staffing issues owing to different reasons and so we were unable to book any more lessons. I would like to know if we could resume a Saturday lunge lesson fairly soon and if she could then join a class after school on a week day.
Kind regards
Melinda

I was wondering if you take your ponies to Summer Fairs? Our usual stables can not help us this year. We would normally pay for the insurance and have a profit share of pony rides 60%/40% in favour of the stables with advertising in the lead up to the event via social media and within our Fair programme.

Hi Paula, would you be interested in a couple of free riding lessons as prizes. We would be prepared to donate 2 riding lesson vouchers as prizes in a raffle at the Tubbenden Lane Fair. Please call 01959 572008 and ask for Sue.

Good evening,
I am looking at booking an assessment lesson in either a Monday or Friday in September. I’m looking to return to riding after having 10 years break due to having my children. Please could you give me some further information? I am 5ft 7, and 9 stone.

I would like to ask if my 2 daughters (8yrs and 11years) could start group horse back riding lessons if possible during the Sat or Sun starting after Oct half term (3-4Nov). They both have some experience.

Hi I am researching on the internet about beginners riding lessons. I found your riding school through Biggin Hill Website and followed the email link from there. I have never ridden a horse in my life. but I absolutely love horses and animals and feel that I have a close connection with animals and would love to get close to a horse and ride them as I know that they are very sensitive and therapeutic. I have a long standing illness of End Stage Kidney Failure and on dialysis three times a week and feel that this would really bring my spirits up again getting involved slowly but surely in Equestrian/Horses etc and gradually learn all about them at a steady pace. Not just riding, but grooming and learning tacking, saddle and many other ways to look after horses and hopefully grow from there. I would be grateful if you could send me information on the lessons I should go for as a complete beginner, the prices. I think I will be available on Sunday afternoons to begin with. And what type of clothing should I wear. Please email as soon as you can. kind regards.
